Stephen Hunter Quotations

I'd like to do a bit of comedy.

I suppose I was formed by too many movies and too much television. At some point I absorbed the dramatic formula.

I love food. I'm a complete foodie. I love to cook. I find it very hard to say no to food. I get grumpy if I don't get food.

The true mystery of the JFK assassination isn't 'How could the bullet go through two people with only slight damage?' but 'Why did the third bullet explode?'

'Pearl Harbor' is definitely about December 7, 1941, but it is not of December 7, 1941. It's not even really of our age, either. It has more of the feel of a film from, roughly, mid-war.

I'm not an expert or a trained ballistician. But it is a subject I've studied intently for 50 years, so I may know a thing or two. In my opinion, the JFK investigation was poorly handled.

If you have only 95 minutes of material, make an only 95-minute movie. Amazing how often that's forgotten.

The squiggly rubber Davy Jones face in 'Pirates' with the tentacles, barnacles and goobers - that's modeled on me.

I kind of figured if I couldn't get a job as a dwarf, looking as I do, I should just give up acting.

I have never connected with 'Gone With the Wind.' 'Lawrence of Arabia' leaves me cold.
